The Beatles are my all time favroite Rock Group. I almost have all of their older songs on CD. I have three of their movies on Video and I recently bought A Hard Day's Night on DVD. My favriote Beatle is Paul McCartney. My favroite Beatles song is 'I Feel Fine' 
Are there any other members who are Beatles Fans  |

Yeah, I'm a huge Beatles fan and have been for years. My tastes, however, are slanted more towards their later stuff and I tend to favour John or George.
It's pretty difficult to pick a favorite song, but I think I'd have to go for either 'Strawberry Fields' or 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. |

I am a Beatles fan. I have been so since I was five years old. My neighbor started to teach me English by teaching me to sing "Yellow Submarine" and other songs by the Beatles. As a consequences, this song is my favorite. But I do not have a favorite member.

I too favor the beatles later stuff vs their olderstuff.
But I only got about half way thru the movie "yellow submarine" I was 10 when I saw it and I didn't care for it, or understand it too much.

| The Beatles were the most fabulous group. They came to New York when I was a kid and we saw them get off the plane at La Guardia. There must have been 25,000 people gathered around this jet, out away from the main area and we were coming back from a vacation in Minnesota. Everyone was screaming and yelling and we did not know what the fuss was about. A few weeks later "I want to hold your Hand" became number one for a year and we all got our hair cut like Paul and wore pointy black shoes and blue suits. I found an old F-Hole Western guitar in the basement and drove evryone crazy trying to learn their songs. I can still play all of their more famous hits and my buddies and I know all the trivia and facts of their lives. They certainly affected my generation and as I listen to the newer groups over the years I can still pick out vocalizations and chord arrangements that were borrowed from them. It is hard to believe they left such a legacy but were only together from roughly 1960 to 1970. Wouldn't it have been a fabulous reunion if they could have gotten together before John was killed. Oh well, all things must pass and yet there is nothing new under the sun. For what it's worth, Kenorri |

You are a very lucky person. I wish that I ws around to greet them back in 1964. I was born about ten and a half years later, in 1974. |

I love the Beatles as well... used to know all kinds of beatles facts and trivia and would ask people about it... lol, when i was younger whenever anyone would tell me they liked the beatles or even 60s music in general i would instantly bombard them with things like "what was the date the beatles arrived in america" or "what was the beatles' 13th #1 hit" , I think it took me a little while to realize that a person can like a subject without knowing every little piece of trivia about it....
you should check your local oldies station for "the beatles brunch" , it is an hour long program that plays all beatles for an hour, plays old interviews w/ the beatles and their managers, live tracks and studio tracks and all kinds of things, i actually dont usually ever listen to it because on the MD oldies station it is on at noon sundays and here it is on at 10 sundays and i'm usually not awake at that hour on sundays. 
also my oldies station here plays 4 beatles songs in a row at 4pm and the one in baltimore plays beatles music nonstop for 20 minutes at 9:00, they USED to do it for a whole hour and then they stopped and made it twenty minutes and i was so mad! but 20 min is still really good, i love listening to both programs.
i love the sgt pepper's album:)
oh, and when im bored, mostly in class, i will often entertain myself by seeing how many beatles songs i can think of off the top of my head, my record i think is 75 but i usually get around 50. lol when i do that i cant get it out of my head for the rest of the day and ill keep thinking of them:)
oh, and further more, has anyone seen 1964 the Tribute, they are a beatles imitation group that goes all over the country doing beatles shows, they look,dress, and sound just like the real beatles, and they're soo good, i saw them twice, once in NH and once in Philly. Definitely worth it.
this was a fun topic!

The Beatles are okay. My dad, mother and sister are all REALLY big fans of the Beatles. The World Book encyclopedia on my computer says that the Beatle became the most popular group in rock history. But at the last all-school party I went to, the art teacher, Mrs. Hughes, forced me to sing a bad song about the Beatles to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel.  It's called Pop hates the Beatles and it goes like this:
My daughter needs a new phonograph.
She wore out all the needles.
Besides, I broke the old one in half.
I hate the Beatles.
She says they have a Liverpool beat.
She says they used to play there.
Four nice kids from offa the street.
Why didn't they stay there?
What is all the screaming about?
Fainting and swooning.
Sounds to me like their guitars
Could use a little tuning.
The boys are from the British Empire.
The British think they're keen.
If that is what the British desire,
God Save The Queen.
No daughter of mine can push me around.
In my home I'm the master.
But when the British come into town,
Gad, what a disaster.
Little girls in sneakers and jeans.
Destroyed the territory.
'Twas like some of the gorier scenes
From West Side Story.
Of course my daughter had to go there.
The tickets are cheap, she hollers.
I was able to pick up a pair
For forty-seven dollars.
When the Beatles come on the stage,
They scream and shriek and cheer them.
Now I know why they're such a rage,
It's impossible to hear them.
Ringo is the one with the drum,
The others all play with him.
It shows you what a boy can become
Without a sense of rhythm.
There's Beatle books and T-shirts and rings,
And one thing and another.
To buy my daughter all of these things,
I had to sell her brother.
Back in 1776
We fought the British then, folks.
Parents of America,
It's time to do it again, folks.
When they come back, here's how we'll begin,
We'll throw 'em in Boston harbor.
But please, before we toss 'em all in,
Let's take 'em to a barber.
That song is just plain mean, don't you think. If I ever told my dad I sung that song, he'd be steamed!
We'll that's all I had to say.
Yours Truly,
Christopher Grills |

The Beatles are amazing! I'm more of a Ringo type person, but John Lenon has got to be the best.
My favorite song is For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, however Let It Be and Hey Jude always put a flicker of joy in my heart! |
